Gunnersbury Park Development Trust's aims are opening up the park and museum for education, leisure and recreation for the widest possible audience. We invest 100% net surplus of the income generated from any events events back into Gunnersbury, to allow us to continue serving our community.

As part of our events programme tens of thousands of people have visited Gunnersbury in recent years: whether bringing the family for a day out with dinosaurs, to listen to award-winning music artists or enjoy immersive cinema, and we’ve loved welcoming new and familiar faces to the park. All profits from these events are invested into the park & museum.

We offer a rich variety of experiences and services to attract the widest possible range of visitors and add value to our communities lives. We welcome thousands of local school students for educational experiences, bring opportunities to local community groups, offer a thriving museum service and continue keeping the park and museum well-maintained and safe. The running cost for the Gunnersbury Estate are on average in excess of £2.3m, and our costs are rising all the time, making event income ever more vital.

We held a resident feedback meeting in January 2025 to review the previous year’s events. The session was constructive, with many residents acknowledging continued improvements in areas such as sound management, signage, and facilities. While the overall response was positive, residents also shared helpful suggestions for further enhancements. We are working closely with all event organisers to address this feedback and will provide further details on planned improvements at upcoming meetings and on our website.
